Having avoided both Everton and Man City it’s the ideal draw for us, and will leave us with a final against one of our neighbours should we progress against Mark Hughes’ men. The start was fantastic but the first 45 minutes defensively was not good. It’s a good feeling to know you’ve had a good day at work.

Can assisted on the second of two goals Sturridge scored for Liverpool against Southampton on Wednesday with one of the best passes of the season.
Daniel Sturridge, who was making his first start since Jurgen Klopp’s appointment, got the visitors back on level terms midway through the first half, controlling a Joe Allen through-ball before rifling the ball into the back of the net.
Liverpool midfielder James Milner believes the Reds have hit form at the right time ahead of a season-defining month, with a first trophy possible under new manager Juergen Klopp. “Super goals, I have to say”.
Liverpool extended their lead on the cusp of half-time, former Lille striker Origi getting the faintest of touches to Alberto Moreno’s 20-yard drive for his first Liverpool goal on his 11th appearance. If you don’t know how long then he has to start.
Liverpool have come from behind to book their place in the semi-finals of the League Cup, thrashing Southampton 6-1 at St Mary’s this evening.
“I said to him after the game, ‘Now I know what everyone is talking about, ‘” the German said.
“I’ve had a lot of goalkeepers over the last few years and Simon Mignolet is one of the smartest goalkeepers I have ever had”.
“We are hopeful that he can play this Saturday, but tomorrow is too early”.
Graziano Pelle slid Mane in behind the Liverpool defence to present Southampton their first opportunity of the second half, but Dejan Lovren recovered well to block, before substitute Shane Long nodded wide from Tadic’s chipped cross shortly after. Jordan Henderson was injured but he travelled with us and said he would have loved to be playing in that game as much as any other.

“Klopp’s intense “gegenpressing” style is particularly suited to grounds away from Anfield, where opponents are nearly obliged to attack, whereas at home they have found it more hard when teams sit back”.
